📰 News we're reading

• Meet the diner owners behind Long Island's viral neon glitch (greaterlongisland.com) — A quirky neon sign malfunction at Thomas’s Ham ’N’ Eggery Diner in nearby Carle Place briefly rebranded it as the “Ho-Ass Diner,” and one Facebook commenter even recalled a similarly named “Ho Bagels” spot in East Meadow. The glitch went viral on social media, delighted regulars, and inspired talk of tongue‑in‑cheek merchandise before the sign was repaired earlier this week.
   

• Islanders in playoff mix thanks to play at UBS Arena (nhl.com) — East Meadow gets a nod as the longtime practice home of the New York Islanders, who recently shifted morning skates from their local facility to UBS Arena in Elmont. Since practicing at the arena, the team has gone 6-1-0, energized by strong crowds, emerging young talent, and a push to stay in the tight Eastern Conference playoff race.
